La Monf exhibited brute force in the first two sets, but the King of Clay had much more endurance in the third. That was a great match and the quality of highlights was brilliant.

Still can't believe how much Rafa has improved since then 😱

Always puzzling how Monfils can be so good, almost without weakness, and then fold mentally and physically. This match shows he has the guns to be MUCH more offensive.

1:11 one of the most powerful shots i've ever seen

These are fantastic highlights for once

10:41 is the best moment, the joyful smile of that ballkid❤

12:10 One of the best celebrations! 🐂💪

Monfils is the most athletic and electrifying tennis player. He is the #blackpanther

One of the best match ever! That was so good match from Monfils and Nadal! Incredible. It is not possible to create highlight of this match... I recommend to watch it from the beginning till the end. It was super battle. Both players were so focused, so inspired , so willing to win... It is miracle. Thank you Tennis TV for bringing this stuff once again...

These extended highlights are great, keep them coming!

My two favorites! Awesome tennis styles!

10:49 Beast mode actived

And this, is why clay Court tennis, is the best.

If you submit highlights of this length more often, mark my words, you will get views. And subscribers. Hell of a match.

Consistency is the key to win the match!

Amazing quality!

That last winner said it all

what a friggin match an absolute classic

Incredible match! Finally Monfils figured out how to be good not just flashy.

Rafael Nadal just draining the opponents energy by dragging them all over the court

Insane rallies

The level of the two first sets is insane!

What a great match with these two legends !

love the tennis sport

Nadal needed this win

Video looks sped up... amazing level

the mandatory third set bagel/breadstick when Rafa's opponents tire themselve out after redlining and throwing the whole kitchen sink at him just to win one set, in the process, forcing rafa to go up a level and play transcendental tennis is so beautiful

More of these videos please

Thank you for the highlights this was an amazing match between Rafa and Monfils.

Monfils.. What a player!!!

From Roland Garros 2014 to Australia 2017 .. this is the only light spot in the tunnel Monte Carlo 2016 in 2.5 darkness years

2nd set was the very best of Monfils.

Wtf this match was hella good

When you see this final so beautiful and amazing and after Nadal in the semi final in Monte Carlo 2019 against Fognini, you tell yourself it's not the same player.

¡VAMOS RAFA! 💪🏻❤️

Nadal is an amazing defender

How does Rafa do to win many matches when he plays men on fire??? This man is a LEGEND👏👌👏

When u play Rafa even Monfils couldn't keep up the energy level till the last ❤️

Finale Roland Garros 2019

1:10 ...what a shot

I had to reduce the playback speed to 0.75 😅😅

What a sad way to end it but amazing from rafa

Monfils, together with nadal, thiem, Djokovic, nadal, wawrinka and some dark horses is one of the favorites to win the Roland Garros if he plays like he did this year so far. P

In the first two sets, both Nadal and Monfils play high-quality tennis. The quality of the shots, the intensity in the match and the equality was incredible. However, in the third, there was no color, Nadal swept. He is the best tennis player in the history 🎾👑

Nadal 👋 and monfils Fabulous 👍 match greatest phenomenal Rafa greatest ever 🙌🙌

Sensational match! One of monfils's best performances

То чувство когда смотришь теннис 2016 🎾 в 2018 для ностальгии

Great match - just wish the thumbnail didn't give away the winner.

12:07

Damn... it takes 3 years to make highlights now? Been looking for this ever since... great vid though ;)

best match for monfils he is incredible

12:05 es uno de los mejores puntos de la historia de nadal

This is rather a boxing fight than a tennis match. Exchanges of punches and lot's of counter punches, and in the end Nadal has proven he was the one with more stamina and Gael knocked down in the court.

Maybe the best match pf mofils career

That's why rafa is king of clay

I saw ref carlos and said oh no...

It's not the biggest tournament, but god damn this final is one of my favorites. So many ridiculous rallies

Sorry monfils i love you to but raffa i love more 😁🎾

lourd la musique

Gael monfils was (and still is) a real gladiator!

Caribbean flavour written all over Gael Monfils's game

Hoffentlich kann Nadal dieses Jahr eine verletzungsfreie Sandplatzsaison spielen 👏👏🎾🎾

One of the all-time great Rafa celebrations lol.

2/3 of this was amazing... Monfils simply ran out of steam. Clay court is really just a slug fest. Fast forward to 2019, same story w/ a different opponent. How many more years can Rafa keep this up? Unbelievable!

The victory that gave nadal his confidence back.

what a match monfils played and stil he lost it thats how hard is to win against nadal on clay.

please make rome quarter final djokovic vs nadal 2016

Les 2 premiers sets sont justes exceptionnels le problème de Monfils on le sait tous c’est qu’il a aucun cardio nadal l’a eu à l’usure car lui c’est une machine. Si Monfils avait travaillé un peu plus et qu’il avait une meilleure condition physique, il aurai assurément plusieurs grand chelem à son actif car le talent il l’a le problème c’est que c’est un gros feignant mais bon ça l’a pas empêché tout de même d’avoir une carrière honorable mais bien en dessous de ce qu’on aurai pu attendre de lui.

The break's Match hahaha

In t last set, Monfils' tyres get totally flat. N t hand break get stuck in there.

Who will take down the King of Clay, French Open 2019, if it's the finals, then no one, because Nadal has never lost a French open Final, but still it would be nice to see a new Roland Garros winner this year, but if Nadal makes it to the final, I doubt we will see one.

No one other than rafa.

عامل الخبرة

9:57 monfils you are such a athlete

gael gave it all from the start. no more juice on the third set

THE KING OF TENNIS!!!!!!! RAFAEL NADAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Extended (Monfils) Highlights...

can see near the end of the first set that Monfils is already exhausted

that look from monfils after winning second set obviously destroyed him

The outcome of that match hurt my soul.

What happened to the French crowd during the third set? That's how he punishes you for trying to steal on his territory.

Just brutal hitting in this match. Good god.

171km/h forehand winner from Monfils

What a fuckin' way to end a match! And a final nevertheless

Gasquet y Tsonga.

WTA tennis lol, just break after break

How can Monfils Brown Kyrgios hit forehand that fast

Siempre en todos los highlights Nadal sale el que menos

10:43 WHO IS HER pls ???!!!

Monfils 🔥🔥🔥❤️

That court is too small

I think Monfils got muscle cramps in the 3th

monfils forehand is very powerful but not consistent

Nadal is King of Tennis 👑👑👑❤❤❤

Monfils >= Kyrgios for huge forhands 1:09 => 171km/h 2:41 6:45 8:16 9:10

Monfils.."ok..j just win a set.I can go"...

This video of Monfils points, not highlight the game

Nadal is a true monster 👌

naaaan Monfils t'étais si proche frero !!!

Rafa was so tentative to come forward.
